Bonjour, Friends of En France Tours!

We are home after a season of wonderful experiences in France. The hottest summer in decades made us appreciate our comfortable lodgings, swimming pools and air-conditioned van. But the heat didn't dampen our delight in exploring France's fascinating cultural diversity. We visited the quaint wine villages of Burgundy, surrounded by vineyards that produce some of the world's finest vintages. We savored the spicy romance of Provence; strolled along the Left Bank of Paris; tapped to the rhythm of colorful Basque dancers; and delighted in the warm charm of Franche-Comté. And "naturellement", we are including the best of our new discoveries in every one of our 2004 tours!
